SUMMARY:Stanford Book Talk: Popular Sovereignty in Modern Islamic Thought
DESCRIPTION:Book talk for Caliphate of Man: Popular Sovereignty in Modern Islamic Thought by Andrew March (University of Massachusetts Amherst). Comments by Mohammad Fadel (University of Toronto Faculty of Law). \nModern Islamic political thought is quintessentially characterized by the commitment to divine sovereignty in politics and legislation. But\, even in the most theocratic of Islamist thinkers there are explicit commitments to a kind of popular political agency and responsibility. What are the origins in modern Islamist thought of the commitment to popular sovereignty? What does it mean to hold that both God and the people can be said to be “sovereign” and what unresolved paradoxes remain at the level of theory (with all due respect for the way in which such tensions are negotiated in the legislative and judicial spheres)? Which specific aspects or powers of sovereignty are the “people” said to enjoy? Are they fully sovereign powers or are they said to be constrained? What are the implications for traditional conceptions of the divine law and those agents who claimed to speak for it? What kind of “people” is imagined to be sovereign\, what are the conditions for it to claim this authority\, and how is this sovereignty represented and enacted? This talk\, based on a forthcoming book manuscript\, explores the meaning of popular sovereignty in modern Islamic thought through the ubiquitous political theological claim that the political representation of God has devolved universally onto “the people” – a doctrine that I refer to as “the caliphate of man.” \nPhilippines Conference Room (C330)\nEncina Hall Central\, 3rd Floor\n616 Serra Street\nStanford\, CA 94305 \nFree and Open to the Public

SUMMARY:Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society Fellowships
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIPS \nThe Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society brings promising new scholars to Stanford University for 1-2 year appointments as postdoctoral fellows. \nCurrently Stanford PACS is accepting applications for two postdoctoral fellowship opportunities for the 2019-20 academic year: \n\nThe Project on Democracy and the Internet\nThe Digital Civil Society Lab\n\nEach fellow will be affiliated with the relevant Stanford PACS initiative (either the Digital Civil Society Lab or the Project on Democracy and the Internet) and potentially also with a department or school at Stanford University. \nThe annual fellowship stipend is $65\,000\, plus the standard benefits that postdoctoral fellows at Stanford University receive\, including health insurance and travel funds. The fellowship program falls under U.S. Immigration J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa activities. \nThe start date of the fellowship will be September 2019\, unless otherwise agreed. To assume a postdoctoral fellowship\, scholars must have a PhD in hand by July 1\, 2019. We cannot consider applications from scholars who earned a PhD earlier than May 1\, 2017. \nFor both of these fellowships\, we encourage applications from candidates representing a broad range of disciplines including the social sciences\, humanities\, law\, computer science and engineering. \n\nProject on Democracy and the Internet\n\nThe Project on Democracy and the Internet (PDI) envisions digital technologies supporting rather than subverting democracy by maximizing the benefits and minimizing the threats through changes in policy\, technology\, and social and ethical technological norms. \nDigital technologies are having a profound impact on democracy in the United States and around the world. New communication platforms that give voice to the previously voiceless also empower nefarious actors who seek to undermine democracy\, silence journalists and minority groups\, manipulate search engines\, sow distrust\, and more. Concerns about virality\, deception\, anonymity\, echo chambers\, and platform information monopolies pose new challenges for democracy in the digital age. Current research to understand these challenges and\, on the basis of theory and evidence\, craft solutions\, remains nascent\, fragmented\, and incomplete. A strong knowledge base is critical for policy makers\, corporate leaders\, and technologists to make decisions that protect and promote democracy in the digital age. \nThe Project on Democracy and the Internet is investigating key research themes which include: \n\nReform options for platforms to combat hate speech\, bots\, and disinformation.\nAlgorithmic bias\nDeteriorating health of digital information ecosystems and its effect on democracy and civil rights\nChanges in the media landscape due to shifts caused by digital innovation.\nImpact of the internet on election campaigns and voting.\n\nThe Project on Democracy and the Internet’s work draws from the social sciences\, humanities\, engineering\, computer science\, and the law to understand the challenges digital technologies pose to liberal democracies around the world. \nThe project is led by Principal Investigators Nathaniel Persily\, James B. McClatchy Professor of Law at Stanford Law School\, and Frank Fukuyama\, Director of CDDRL and Senior Fellow at FSI\, along with the support of PACS Faculty Co-Director and Professor of Political Science\, Rob Reich. \nPDI is a joint initiative of the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society (Stanford PACS) and the Center on Democracy\, Development\, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL). \nFor a sense of the scholarship that PDI supports\, see: https://pacscenter.stanford.edu/research/project-on-democracy-and-the-internet/projects/. \n2. Digital Civil Society Lab \nThe Digital Civil Society Lab (DCSL) envisions an independent civil society that thrives in the digital age through the safe\, ethical and effective use of private digital resources for public benefit. \nThe digital age has transformed civil society participation and organization\, and it has presented new challenges and threats. Our dependencies on digital software and infrastructure require new insights into how these digital systems work and how an independent civil society can engage them safely\, ethically and effectively for mission. \nThe Digital Civil Society Lab aims to understand how digital technology has transformed civil society and shape these transformations by engaging research\, practitioner and policy communities across the interconnected domains that support a thriving and independent civil society in the digital age: \n\nTechnology: software and hardware designed for the values and interest of civil society actors\nOrganizations: structures and practices that align with civil society missions and protect institutional independence from markets or governments \nPolicy: legal practices and regulatory frames that protect the building blocks of civil society\, including free association\, speech\, and privacy\nNorms: social norms and practices that promote safe and ethical data collection\, generation and use\, and that support the critical role of civil society in democracies\n\nThe Digital Civil Society Lab is investigating key research themes which include: \n\nThe key dimensions of digital infrastructure and data and how they influence the role of independent civil society in democracies;\nUnderstanding\, creating\, and expanding access to software\, hardware and digital practices that align with the values of civil society in democracies;\nThe nature of digital data donations and/or the governance mechanisms\, enterprise forms\, or legal constructs that such donations require;\nThe role of digital infrastructure\, data\, and connectivity and their influence on relationships between governments\, markets\, and civil society.\n\nThe Lab’s research draws from the humanities\, social sciences\, engineering\, computer science and the law to understand and advance the principles of civil society and democracies in the digital age. \nDCSL is an initiative of the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society (Stanford PACS) and is led by Lucy Bernholz\, senior research scholar at Stanford PACS\, and Rob Reich\, professor of Political Science and faculty co-director of Stanford PACS. \nFor a sense of the scholarship that DCSL supports\, see: https://pacscenter.stanford.edu/research/digital-civil-society-lab/. \nHOW TO APPLY \nTo be considered for a postdoctoral fellowship with either the Project on Democracy and the Internet or with the Digital Civil Society Lab\, submit an application via the online application portal. \nApplicants will be asked to include the following: \n\nCover letter detailing the reasons for the applicant’s interest in the fellowship;\nCurriculum Vitae;\nFellowship proposal detailing the research that the applicant would undertake while at Stanford\, and how it fits within the research agenda of the specific initiative to which the applicant is applying. In this section\, please disclose if you have additional funding arrangements.\nWriting sample consisting of either a dissertation chapter or a recent published paper. There are no specific page length or formatting requirements for this sample;\nGraduate transcript with proof that the applicant has completed all the requirements for the PhD\, or a letter from their PhD advisor stating when they will do so;\nTwo (or more) Letters of Recommendation. These should be submitted via the application portal.\n\nCONTACT \nQuestions about the Project on Democracy and the Internet should be directed to Eloise Duvillier at eloise@stanford.edu. \nQuestions about the Digital Civil Society Lab should be directed to Heather Noelle Robinson at hnrbnsn@stanford.edu.
